Breaking News: Iran May Target US Military Bases in Middle East as Conflict Escalates | ABP NEWS

Tensions in the Middle East continue to rise following the US strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Now, Iran is reportedly preparing to retaliate by targeting American military bases in the region. Among the key potential targets is the Al-Asad Air Base in Iraq and several US embassies. Iran, which had previously vowed a swift response, appears fully committed to carrying out counterattacks. While the US focused its strikes on Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure using advanced B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs, Iran’s strategy is different—it’s reportedly aiming at urban and civilian zones in Israel to destabilize morale. Massive missile barrages and attacks on residential areas have already led to major civilian displacement. Defense experts warn that Iran may also leverage its network of proxies including Hezbollah, Hamas, and Houthis to launch coordinated assaults. Moreover, analysts suggest that China and North Korea are quietly backing Iran with weapon supplies and strategic support, while avoiding direct engagement. The Strait of Hormuz remains a key economic pressure point, as Iran could disrupt global oil supply routes, triggering an energy crisis. With Iran showing no signs of backing down, and the US and Israel bracing for more escalations, fears of a wider regional—and potentially global—conflict are mounting.
